The Caffeinated Squirrel

    Check out this video of the pre-zen squirrel. No, I did not give an innocent squirrel caffeine. Hey, a little side story about this video. I wrote a childrens' book about Walter, The Lonesome Turtle. I intended to have pictures in it and this video, but had a horrible time getting them uploaded for Smashwords. I believe it would have been very cool. At the time it would have been one of the first of it's kind. Now, interactive books are the coming thing. Another thing about Walter is this: I just sat down one day and wrote it while I looked at a handful of photos from my library. I wrote the story from the pics, not vice versa. At any rate it was fun. I burned about three solid weeks and tore my hair out just trying to get my fancy version published. At length I gave up and published a book with no pics. Bummer. By the way, in the book this squirrel is a neighbor of Walter's, much maligned as a sloppy eater.
     One more note on the video. Yes, that's a washing machine you hear in the background.
    I started to tell you guys that I got tired of the Zen Squirrel being so mellow and gave him some energy drink but I was afraid that I'd get the animal rights folks upset. Hey, no one likes animals more than me.
    I think I should give the Zen Squirrel a name. Henceforth he shall be called Fontaine.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away. We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Batman Lives In Washington, DC

Hey, everyone. I just read an interesting article on Washington Post.Com by Mike Rosenwald. It was titled Who Is the Route 29 Batman? This is a true story about a guy that the cops pulled over. The guy was driving a black Lamborghini with Batman plates. There were yellow Batman symbols on the doors. They had a video from the police car that showed him being pulled over. He was wearing a Bat-suit which he said cost him $5000. His gig is that he visits sick children in area hospitals and hands out Bat-Toys and Bat-books to cheer the kids up. His name is Lenny B. Robinson and he says that the 'B' stands for Batman. He is perfectly sane and is just a good dude trying to make a difference. He is a self-made millionaire and is currently having a duplicate of the Batmobile custom-made at a cost of $250,000. It was a hoot, watching the cops having their pictures made with the Bat Guy. Someone asked him where Robin was and he said that the boy won...

A Postscript

Hey. I just tried the update for Shadowgun on my old I-Pad. The graphics are even better than ever, if you can believe that. The rolling feature is a nice defensive weapon during battles. It is activated by a small button next to the fire button. It was kinda cool. On my old Padster, I was on the level where you kill the Cyberlobster for the first time. I certainly settled his hash a lot faster this time. I hid behind a shield and popped up and down, blasting the yellow ball that signifies his AI controls. I must say that, at least on the I-Pad 1, there is a bit of crashing, in spots, with this update. I am sure they will fix this quickly. I haven't played the new levels because my I-Pad 2 is charging and you can't play the new section, called The Leftover Expansion Pack , until you have finished the game. Very cool that they didn't charge for this update. Class. I am looking forward to Shadowgun 2. From the lair of the Cyberlobster, this is CE Wi...
